Black and red used to work well for one tgp I know of. I don't think they are using it anymore though.

I have always liked the layered blue,green,black looks....who needs brite white glaring at ya when your surfin? I dunno cheaper bandwidth and loading time seems too be most common with white.Well fuck em if they cant wait 10 seconds or get cable/dsl

Depends from content of course.
If you have just text links use any color as you want
For dark banners and images - use dark colors
I think that light colors (white yellow cyan) more attractive for surfers.

It has been proven over and over that white sells twice as well as any other color.

I have heard that many times before, but the statement can be misleading because it only works if you are trying to "Sell" something because the black on white is a comfortable place in which lends more trust.

A TGP is mostly full of text links leading to free porn, and to be honest I have ran many different TGP's in my day and the colors really don't matter as long as it is easy on the eyes.

What matters is how good your links are. (IE: how well you keep the redirecting cheaters out)

Look at these top traffic sites and you will see what I mean:

The Hun: yellow BG
JJJ : White BG
WorldSex: Black BG

I had one of my tgp sites over 150K per day (back when running TGP's made good money) and I changed the colors more than once and never noticed much of a difference.

When I was in college, I remember reading a study about browsing habits and preferences and the study found that the most pleasing bgcolor to the human eye was pale yellow with a dark text (i.e. dark blue or black). I'm not sure if it would help sales (lol), I just thought it was interesting

I dunno, I've always thought and still think TheHun is one of the ugliest and most arcane designs ive ever seen but design doesnt matter if the numbers are there.

Im using a red, blue and black combo with some yellow text:

Vendot, I can't get your site to come up.

I use black and white on demonwolfe right now... Does that make me old fashioned?
